THE PRESENT NUMBER.

By Uriah Smith

THE reader will find the present number of the paper, we trust, one of a good degree of interest.

Do not fail to read the sermon on the first page, though it is somewhat lengthy. Being present when it was delivered before the Seventh-day Baptist General Conference, we can testify to the interest with which it was listened to by them. Our readers will be equally interested in its perusal, and cannot fail to be profited by its clear statements and illustrations.

The great exaltation awaiting the Christian in the future kingdom is beautifully set forth in the poetry “Equal Unto the Angels.”

The illustration of the chart on page 5, was published in the New York Daily Graphic of Dec. 10, 1875, with substantially the same accompanying description. We have procured the plate, and re-written the explanation as it here appears. We purpose to strike off a quantity of these on separate sheets, for general circulation, if the brethren desire them. They can be afforded, post-paid, at 5 cts. per copy.

In the articles on the Sanctuary commenced on page 6, we design to present a full examination of that important subject. It is worthy of all the study that any of us can bestow upon it.
